Pelosi: ‘I Wanted Single-Payer, Public Option’

Democrats not running on Obamacare; we're running on job creation

In a press conferences yesterday marking the anniversary of Obamacare, Nancy Pelosi said that the final version of Obamacare was a compromise and that she really wanted a public option.

Pelosi also iterated that Obamacare is a “winner” for Democrats. In fact, Obamacare is such a huge winner that Democrats aren’t going to run on it and are instead going to run on jobs in the November elections.

Out of one side of her cosmetically-altered mouth Pelosi said, “You have to ask them, the member, but I believe that [Obamacare’s] a winner.” And out of the other side she said, “As I said to you before, we’re not running on this; we’re running on what the American people want us to run on and that is job creation. Show us the jobs. Where are the jobs?”
